Eight spectacular summits, taking in a challenging route across the Glyderau and Carneddau ranges of Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.
Starting from the Ogwen Valley carpark, we first head south to take in the peaks of Y-Garn, Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr and Tryfan, before our check-point, where teams top-up on water and get refreshments. Then we continue north with the second stage, climbing Yr Elen, Carnedd Llewelyn, Carnedd Dafydd and Pen Yr Old Wen.
